Shawn, rather than derail this thread with a detailed description and pictures I'm going to link to my thread over on LR:

Finally had a chance to get it partially cleaned up after the trip, hope to finish it up over the next couple of days.
Today I swung by Joe Gambino's shop and picked up my lightweight fiberglass front bumper. Love going there and drooling over all the sweet rides he works on. Can't wait to get it mocked up and painted. Most likely pulling my truck apart for some time to get the harwood hood, street scenes smooth wiper cowl, side view mirrors and lower valance painted along with the new bumper.
Also installed my bretco manual tensioner. Been dieing to do this, just couldn't find the time.
Harley#356 and I are going to do one. Joe left the dimples of the mounting holes just like on the stock bumper. All you need to do is figure out which ones you will need or want for the valance. Not sure if te 03 is different in mounting from the 00-02. I'm going to be mounting mine to the grill shell to get rid of the gap. But I think you could use the stock metal bumper kinda like the L guys do if your afraid of driving it regularly.

No damage, my dumb *** left it unlocked. Little update though. My wife found the box to my tuner up the road. So I took a walk down there and found the tuner in the woods. Still missing my go pro, but that can be replaced easier then my tuner.
Hard wired the dash cam so it turns on and off with the truck. Also used the truck to take my R to its first HPDE. Airbag's inflated to 86psi in these pictures. Allen - I still owe you some measurements.
